The gentleman behind the counter was very helpful. the Lotte that I got was just okay. Nothing fabulous of the chart special. I would go back and try something else. I heard his hot chocolate is fabulous. I would like to go back and try the hot chocolate.

Definitely stop in here if you’re nearby and like or love espresso. Great quality, chill atmosphere, friendly barista. I learned how to make a better latte!

Fun local spot for a good cup of coffee. Visited from out of town and really enjoyed the coffee and relaxed vibe.

Espresso and customer service are on point here. I lament all the times I went elsewhere but had the chance to go here pre-COVID now that this place has been temporarily closed during the pandemic…. OPEN BACK UP!

Excellent little coffee shop. Independently owned. Gentleman behind the bar served a lovely espresso to cure the sips of a long road travel. Will be back!

First time visitor. Had a macchiato, excellent.We sat outside to have our coffee. It has certain European vibe to it.

Friendly staff Greg will fix you a drink however youd like. Cozy little spot downtown.

Some of the best coffee Ive ever had, and Greg is so fun to talk to and such a great guy

Really excellent coffee and the owner is genuinely friendly and informative. If you are in downtown Albuquerque this is the coffee spot to come if you love good coffee.

Amazing spot. Greg the main man is a true artist, he goes the extra mile to make his espresso perfect. I wanted an unsweetened mocha. He made it with cocoa powder instead of syrup, and took extra care to make sure it came out right, which is a little more challenging with the powder. And he’s very personable (a rare trait in a true barista ;) Great little community hub.Good wifi and peaceful atmosphere in the late morning.

The owner makes great coffees. Just like in Europe. They have tiny place to sit outside and its just amazing.

I love this placeIt feels good to go to a local coffee house. Service is incredible prices are perfect. I cant find anything negative to say. You have to go you will be happy you did. I will keep going. Keep up the good work!👍👍👍👍☕☕

My boyfriend and I stopped in this morning looking for a good cup of coffee! We aren’t local, and actually both work at coffee shops, so we wanted a good, quality Albuquerque coffee shop. This place did not let us down!! We LOVEDDDDD it! The owner was so kind, even had us try our coffees before he put ice in it to make sure we liked them. Then he sat and chatted with us for a minute!! If you’re a coffee guru and only in it for the espresso taste, this is your place! The espresso is FANTASTIC! When we come back to Albuquerque, we will be visiting this place again!!Thank you so much for the wonderful experience & coffee!

We really loved this shop and will be going back anytime we are in downtown. I normally dislike coffee but I wanted to try somthing new I absolutely loved my drink, the owner was also very kind and adamant on making sure our drinks were to our liking and offered to adjust it too. Ive never been to a place that cared that much about making sure you were happy.

The hospitality is incredible and the coffee is equally as glorious! I was in town visiting and wanted to support local and the reviews here seemed great. I’m so happy I chose this spot. I encourage any and all to stop by and experience the same warmth and happiness this place brought me and my mom. Thank you Espresso Fino!

The owner has a warm heart. He was very passionate to offer the best coffee taste and hospitality. He opened a bottle sparkling water and gave a slice of bread for free. Today’s visit definitely made our day. The best coffee in the states.

Tell me what inspires you and Ill make you a drink to fit that description. Thats what I was met with by owner Greg when I came in to the shop. Being in one of the coolest parts of Albuquerque and with one of the most unique locations, Espresso Fino makes you feel special. Fantastic flavors and a massive array of teas, coffees, and syrups, give you the option to have pretty much any drink you could want. Greg is a kind and social host, and his place makes any bad morning better. Check it out.

The best in Albuquerque. One of the best Ive ever had. Period.

I loved how the barista asked my friend and I what we liked/preferences. After giving him a long list, he made the best latte I have ever had. I have been to several coffee shops and none have been as good as this one. Definitely want to visit again!!

Have been road tripping the west and just ordered a latte from this quaint place. Being coffee-obsessed, this is easily the best coffee I’ve had out here! Not to mention that the owner was incredibly nice and accommodating. If I’m ever near the west coast again, I’d make sure to stop. Thanks so much ☺️

Very delicious coffee. Very good service. Was the only place where Ive had somebody asked me exactly how I like the coffee had me taste it and then could adjust it from there perfect was a perfect latte perfect head convenient metered parking right outside the door

Always a five star experience. Greg is the best. He makes you feel welcomed and truly values your business. The coffee is always tasty. What ever you order if it’s not right Greg will make it right. I’ve ordered regular drip coffee, cold iced coffee, lattes, Americanos. And Greg will always say if it’s not to your liking,bring it back.Fair prices for exceptional coffee. Parking can be a pain but it’s downtown and it’s worth it

Do not let the small size of the shop or the reasonable prices dexeive you as this is hands down one of the best espresso cafes in Albuquerque. The owner is a true master of the art with world wide recognition and can make any coffee espresso request you desire. This is one of the very few places that I would include on any top 10 list of places and things you must do while visiting Albuquerque!

The reviews are spot-on; this place is amazing. We have an espresso machine at home which we utilize daily. When we travel we enjoy finding local coffee shops. My husband always proclaims that he can make his drink better at home. He actually admitted that the drink he had today from this small shop might be better than his at home. This. Is. Groundbreaking.

Cute, local coffee shop. I was a bit disappointed the fresh pastries hadnt arrived at the opening hour (I arrived about 15 minutes after opening). The owner was a character to remember, though.

This small coffee shop and it’s super friendly owner“ Hey Greg” serves Great Coffee, the service is great and the coffee is exactly what you want high quality at a great price. Not sure what you want or want something special Greg has got you covered. If you love coffee this is a must place stop while in Albuquerque.

My husband and I were looking for a random coffee shop to kill some time before a concert and came across this place. When we came in we were immediately greeted by a very nice man who I’m assuming is the owner. He informed us that the shop was actually closed but he would be happy to make us some to go drinks. We didn’t want to impose so we said we’d come back another time. He then offered a drink on the house of our choosing. It was delicious! I wish we had some cash on us to tip him, but we will absolutely be back another time during his actual hours and will tip him for sure! Beautiful, unique coffee shop and very friendly service! I will definitely be recommending Espresso Fino to all friends and family!

Greg is well versed in his brews, hes always offering to educate and adjust strength/temp/you name it. Great guy, great place. Best Americano Ive gotten yet.

If you drink coffee, you cannot be in Albuquerque and not go to this place. Youre treated like a friend, even if its your first time. Not only the menu states theyll make any coffee drink any way you want, hot or cold, but he ASKS you to try it once its made so he can make it perfect for you if its not. Great experience; will always stop by when in town.

Customer service is huge for me. Greg is exactly what an owner should be: helpful, friendly, and made me feel at home. I loved getting to meet him and I recommend going to his place whenever you get the chance.

I really love this cozy space and all the cool little details in the shop itself, the environment is pretty awesome and Greg was really easy to talk with. He can make an incredible Mocha! And fine isnt acceptable to him, hell recraft the coffee if its not incredible the first time (and mine was perfection on the first try!)

Darling coffee shop with a lovely owner. He asked me to describe the type of coffee I like, and made a custom drink based on that. He also said that hed remake my drink if I wasnt satisfied, however my drink was delicious. Cannot recommend this place enough!

Was very cool inside. Coffee was amazing but he was also very nice to change or add anything in the coffee before we pay.

Not for me, but work a visit and it might work for you. Theres a wide variety of choices, including many different espresso-based drinks. The barista (owner?) was super friendly, asked us about or preferences for the preparation of drinks. He seemed genuinely open for feedback. However, all the roasts were too dark (bitter) for my personal taste.

There is a reason that this little gem has Best of Albuquerque honors....the experience is over the top! You can tell the beans are top quality....full of flavor and no bitterness. Best latte that I think I have ever had in Albuquerque. I happened upon it while I was working in the area....and will definitely be back for more caffeinated deliciousness!

I absolutely love it here. The most adorable cozy coffee shop that serves delicious coffee and more. The owner is so nice and obviously loves what he does. Love, love, love this place!! Please don’t ever leave!

Best coffee shop in town. Greg is a Master Barista, is incredibly kind and consistent. Its a small and cozy shop but if you live or work downtown this should be your stop. Regardless of how busy it is watching him at work is a thing of beauty. Hell knock out several difficult to make drinks in a row with ease and speed. He also has an incredible memory, Ive seen regularly remember peoples names and favorite orders.Plus, there is an awesome Godzilla action figure.

Excellent cortado every time. Same for the chai latte. They encourage you to adjust your drink perfectly to your taste. Friendly people and comfortable cozy space. Try it - you wont be disappointed!

I love coffee and coffee shops, and though I don’t frequent Espresso Fino as much as some I’ve never found a better place for coffee in all my travels. Whether you’ve never liked coffee, never tried it, or are the most die hard experienced coffee nerd on earth - this place is for you. It’s small, simple, tasteful, and run by someone whose true love is coffee and can’t keep that love to himself - it’s contagious. There’s something magical about the coffee here - I don’t even have a way of describing it. Closest thing to perfection in an imperfect world.

Best latte in town. Very consistent always perfect. Definitely worth the trip.

Weve passed by Espresso Fino on a few occasions and have always loved the quaint exterior of the shop. The menu is incredibly diverse as they will make anything you want, and ask you after you get your beverage if there is any changes that need to be made to it. The coffee/espresso itself is incredibly delicious, and the presentation of their lattes is spot on. The owners are extremely charming, funny, and personable. 10/10 would definitely recommend and will be returning soon!

Hands down the best coffee in town. Greg cares deeply about the quality of the beans and the roast. He is an artist. No where else I Abq reaches this level of flavor. Strong, too.

New coffee spot for my days off, amazing from beginning to end, Gregg made sure we had a good time, took care of us and made sure we were satisfied with our coffee. We will be back!

Exceptional place. Delicious drinks, vibrant and welcoming space, and a friendly, personable owner. Every visit genuinely improves my day and person -- cant recommend highly enough.Small space with narrow back hallway. Unsure of accessibility.

Great coffee and awesome barista! I just want to spent an afternoon reading a book here.

It was my first time in this place today. A friend of mine invited me. Simply extraordinary. I got a “Late”. Delicious. I highly recommend this place. I will bring my family and friends here. Thank you.Regards,Daniel Hermosillo

The best coffee found to date I. The US. After leaving Australia finding a good cup of coffee has been difficult. Espresso Fino doesn’t disappoint. Purchased a strong long black and a flat white, perfection in a cup!

This is the BEST COFFEE this side of the pond. Always consistent, The owner always remembers your drink. Foam is always in the perfect proportion for the drink specified. Coffee is fresh ground and not bitter ever

Great espresso! They offer the traditional drinks from the menu, but youre also welcome to make up your own drink, so you can get exactly the drink youre looking for. I described what I wanted, and was not disappointed.

Even though I was the only person in line it took him forever to acknowledge me--probably because I was standing in the wrong place, but is that a reason not to talk to me? Also, although he prepared my latte from scratch it was not hot enough. Finally, the place is extremely small and was so warm that I was not able to relax and read for a while as planned.

If you havent yet visited this magical little kingdom of caffeine illuminated by the sunshiny spirit of Greg, the owner & barista, you owe it to your better self to hie thee hence to his spot on Gold Street (between 2nd & 3rd) in downtown Albuquerque and let him infuse your day with his bright spirit and exquisitely brewed beverages.

Exceptional coffee!!! Great environment and by far the best Hot mocha Ive ever had. The owner is extremely friendly

A perfect coffee shop in every way. Cosy atmosphere, terrific coffee, and best of all, the wonderful owner Greg, who remembers me after all these years every time I pop in for the best almond milk latte on this planet.

Delicious coffee (I had an almond milk latte on this visit), carefully made at a good price. Service was excellent. Gentleman was super friendly and welcoming, and even took the time to explain all the different drink options to me. I also love that theyre open at 7am, which seems to be a little earlier than other places downtown. For those visiting ABQ (like me), an easy walk from downtown hotels.

This place is EXTREMELY small, but it lacks a punch. Don’t bring a bunch of friends, because there’s no where to sit. Instead, pick your favorite person and enjoy a PERFECTLY crafted coffee at a local place that knows EXACTLY what they are doing.

We were so impressed with this humble coffee shop! The owner made the most perfect latte and took pride in every cup he made for our group. We would go out of our way again to go here.

Greg deserves all of your business. Wonderful coffee and he takes seriously making it to your taste. Remembers orders and once offered to let me stay and work while he closed the shop and cleaned. Theres many coffee shops in ABQ but this is at the top of my list and will soon be at yours, too.

I literally come here every week with my husband, he was the one who showed me this place, and we love it! If you’re looking for a quick, simple coffee, don’t go here! The barrista always takes his time, and ensures that whatever you ordered, you get the best!

Just a really great place to sit down and enjoy a beverage. The owner makes anything you would like and adjusts to your tastes. A very personalized touch with a great atmosphere to enjoy it in.

I am currently staying nearby the Espresso Fino, I just landed yesterday for a quick vacationWell, I was looking for a dose of coffee in my body so I walked around the street of Gold Avenue and found this cozy placeI like the place, it was very artistic and very relaxing place to enjoy a quiet morning with a coffee.The coffee was made and served perfectlyI appreciate the service of the staff, very professional, active and friendlyDefinitely this will be my coffee shop every morning for the next 3 daysThe shop deserves 5 stars and a recommendation!

Exceptional, consistent coffee and espresso. Greg is a master barista who takes his craft very seriously which is directly reflected by the quality of his work. The menu is simple, allowing for room to customise any drink according to your own palate. Cozy atmosphere with a tight interior and comfortable seating both in and out of the shop. An essential stop for avid caffeine junkies who know and appreciate their coffee.

The owner let us in even though he appeared to be closing. We said we didn’t want to come in if he was about to leave. He insisted we come in, made us amazing drinks, and also asked me about my coffee preferences and made me something he thought I’d like ( I did!) and gave it to me on the house! Amazing service & place. Highly recommend!!

Ive been going to this place for years. It might be small in size but it is large on heart. The service is excellent and everyone that works there seem jovial and welcoming. I would recommend this coffee house over the many others in the area.

I liked interacting with the owner, who seems to be the primary barista at this little coffee shop. The menu is brief but the owner can accommodate many special requests. Prices are good and so was the latte. Overall I just really appreciated the personal interaction! It made a big difference.

Espresso Fino is an excellent coffee shop. Greg is one of the best parts of Albuquerque- I came here every day of a recent trip. He is kind AND makes delicious coffee. Check it out!

The service was outstanding! Asked if my coffee was hot enough or strong enough. Never been to a coffee shop that has asked or provided this level of service. Highly recommended!

The guy here takes a specialized interest to each and every person who orders. When I told him I had just moved to Albuquerque, he spent time tailoring my coffee order to my liking. Amazing coffee!!

Visiting from Denver on a business trip and found this nearby. Owner was the nicest guy ever. Excellent espresso. Easy WiFi.

I was skeptical about high rating. But upon my arrival I began to understand why the rating was so high. The atmosphere is great there is no doubt about it. The service is outstanding. The barista noticed my snobby-ness and worked with me for find the right been for me. I walked away with a strong cup and the knowledge that the person behind the counter cares enough to make his patrons happy.

Best coffee shop in Albuquerque- encapsulates the coffee house experience so rarely executed in other shops. From the ambiance, to the service, to the delicious product- Espresso Fino knocks it out of the park. Youll be tough pressed to find better customer service or a more beautiful latte anywhere in Albuquerque. Brightly lit with large windows, and outdoor tables in the sun- you will leave happier and more awake than you were when you walked in.

Awesome coffee stop - I ordered an Almond Latte and it was awesome. My wife had am extra hot chai. The shop was a one man operation but amazingly efficient. Obviously he has a regular set of repeat customers who he prepped drinks for without words exchanged other than morning pleasantries.

My mom absolutely LOVES this place! She goes there every chance she gets! Gotta have that cappuccino!She really enjoys the convo with the owner!

Well, we do care for a great cup of espresso, and don’t mind spending a few bucks for parking in one of the downtown lots. Street parking was not available. We did not regret it. Perfectly prepared. Top.

This is a clear example of a place (and product) that reflects an owner being someone who loves what he does and whos great at doing it. Fantastic coffee! Skip all the others and give this one a try. Youll be hooked.

A great local place for some espresso or chai without the trappings of commercialism. Owner is there, kind and efficient - making deliciousness to order. Enjoy.

Wow! What great coffee! Mocha it is. The owner loves his job and customers, I have been coming here now for the last two years on one of my days off.

This place is amazing!!! Best coffee anywhere!!!! The owner runs the place and he is a super cool guy! He makes sure your coffee tastes just how u want it. Anything you want, hell whip it up for you!!! Try it out, youll love it!!!!

Excellent coffee and friendly atmosphere. The baristas very friendly and are happy to customize drinks however you want. Would highly recommend

Miss you Greg! Ill be keeping an eye out for your reopening, and cant wait to leave my crummy auto-drip behind for the otherworldly brew only you can craft!

One of the best lattes I’ve ever had, and easily the best barista I’ve ever encountered. All thumbs all the way up.

Great lattes.

Greg is a coffee making master! Hes got many very loyal customers. I havent found a better latte in the city.

Amazing coffee!!I have gone to many places for coffee and literally nothing can compare my experience to the service and quality of the latte I had:) the environment is great and makes you feel very welcome.I will drive across town for a coffee every morning because its worth it!!thank you Greg for the great experience today!!

The best mocha Ive tasted in Albuquerque and one of the best ever! Roasty - toasty and a great atmosphere and barista. I shall return!

Amazing coffee, amazing service, and a great guy to talk to about coffee and life. I recommend to anyone who is really into coffee, Greg will definitely meet/exceed your expectations, and anyone who is new to coffee, Greg will help you figure out what you like and give you the best quality drink at a great price.

Wonderful place and coffee.

Excellent service with even better coffee. Been a consistent customer for a while. Its located in a great spot also

Out door seating section was good. Coffee was good.

Omg. This guy knows coffee. Fantastic brewWe ended up with 2 giant lattes each, instead of one. Smooth flavour, gentle roast, foamy and utter delicious.Please open a store in Denver!

Stopped by on our stay this week and I was incredibly satisfied. I am a coffee connoisseur and the baristas careful attention and calm demeanor was a relief. I felt like I could calmly enjoy my coffee and didnt need to be rushed as I would at a Starbucks.

Very friendly, good service, great coffee fixed just the way I like it. This is a place I want to bring friends and tell people about. Bought a pastry for my husband and he gave it a thumbs up.

This is my second trip back... Had to follow up on what I had said in a previous review that this was the best flat white ever. Wanted to see if the Barista was a one-hit wonder... Found out he was not. This is the same fantastic consistent flat white that I had the first time. Bravo!

Truly one of the best cappuccinos Ive ever had!

The best place in town for coffee & conversation and everyone knows it - including G 😋I don’t usually go to the same place twice when traveling because I like to check out as many spots as possible, but I happily came back today for another perfect cup of joe ☕️

I have to return to Albuquerque one of these days just to go back to Espresso Fino. The atmosphere has just the right amount of quirk, but its the proprietor that sets this place apart. I only went to Espresso Fino twice, but thats all it took for him to know how I take my coffee, what I do for a living, and what I was doing in Albuquerque. This place is everything a coffee shop should be.

In as many places as I can find to review this coffee shop, I will.I have never had a more perfect cup of coffee, and Greg is the most wonderful barista ever. He is funny, kind and he has passion about his job.If you do yourself one favor while in Albuquerque, it should be to get a cup of coffee here.

Great friendly service definitely the best coffee shop!

I was headed to a neighborhood restaurant I didnt know had closed. When I wandered in looking for food, they were out, but I got a complimentary cup of the best coffee ever! What a wonderful place. I will be back for sure!

Driving Uber and someone left a note on my app try Fino espresso, it is the best.Just tried it and this rider was totally right. The best espresso I had so far in the States. Ànd the owner has a great personality.I will definitely be back!

I suggested next coffee shop he always hooked up hes got the best coffee in town if I were to go to any coffee shop in Albuquerque this would be the place
